That’s the wrong order.Capital is the truck. Risk is the cliff.If the truck falls, the journey ends no matter how big the profit target looked.

A trader’s real job is not to “win every trade.”It is to:

  • Protect capital

  • Manage risk

  • Stay disciplined

  • Survive long enough to compound

Profit is not the first goal.Capital preservation is.

What real traders do

-Risk a small % per trade

- Use a stop-loss before entering

- Size positions based on risk, not emotion

- Cut losers fast

-Let winners run (with a plan)

-Pause when emotions get loud (FOMO / revenge / overconfidence)

What destroys accounts

-All-in trades

- No stop-loss

-Moving stop-loss out of fear

- Overleveraging

- Blindly copying social media entries

-Chasing “quick profit” setups without a plan

In crypto, volatility is normal. That’s exactly why risk management matters more than prediction.

Protect capital first. Profit comes later.

Discipline first. Ego last. 💪
